I'm having trouble opening pages in FrontPage 2000 when
the encoding is UTF-8. It seems that when I save the page
in Notepad, it adds a byte order mark as the first
character. When I open the page using FrontPage 2000 the
BOM causes problems. Does anyone know a way to get FP2000
to accept the BOM?

Are you copying and pasting from an external source,
and is the source EBCDIC or ASCII??
If EBCDIC it could be the cause of the problem.

As for the BOM, the only reason it is there is to
distinguish UTF-8 from the other encodings.

My question is, why save using notepad and then try to
open using FP??
